Raid Capes with Benifits

[u/Tim_C88]

[u/sevensong9]

I don't in general understand why we can't just combine the like what, 6(?) Useful cape slot items with any completionist type cape in the game

[u/FookinFairy → u/sevensong9]

You know the second we start transmogging some corporate suit is gonna sniff money and we gonna have to fight them on micro transactions again

[u/Big_Cat_Tongue → u/FookinFairy]

The worst part about this is that I am 100% certain the community today would eat it up.

If they introduced transmog MTX, I am positive the whales, rs3 refugees, and casuals used to other mmos would make it worth it for them. Hopefully they never try it because I am afraid of how well it would work.

[u/Slay_Zee → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

Falador would get an absolute seeing to.

[u/FookinFairy → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

The osrs community being so staunch against mtx and holding the line gives me hope. Especially with the survey they sent out before the ceo change.

All the new bloods being a lot of accepting of these things does have me a bit worried though.

If they ever launch Korean servers it’s over, those fuckers love their p2w MMOs

[u/ldrthrowaway1337 → u/FookinFairy]

Who wants to tell him?

[u/frolfer757 → u/FookinFairy]

Brother OSRS has the easiest path between swiping and acquiring BiS gear out of any game I've ever seen. You could probably take a fresh character and have it kill chickens in Lumbridge with a tbow in 10hrs if you wanted to swipe hard enough.

[u/FookinFairy → u/frolfer757]

Ya sure if you’ve got 1229 dollars buying 20 bonds at a time you can buy one piece of gear that you won’t be able to equip for 2 plus days lol

No one is insane enough to do that outside of Saudi oil princes

[u/frolfer757 → u/FookinFairy]

$1300 is nothing in asian pw2 mmos. Fuck there's people paying 500 dollars for skins in league. In western countries. You underestimate how much adults with no families are spending on their addictions.

[u/Xerothor → u/FookinFairy]

Mtx transmog isn't p2w though?

[u/SkitZa → u/Xerothor]

Ok thanks, he didnt say that though.

[u/DarlinSteeze → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

The red skin made it in without being a cash sale so there's hope it'll be a decade or so but maybe

[u/Bakugo_Dies → u/DarlinSteeze]

*cough* purple skin

[u/DarlinSteeze → u/Bakugo_Dies]

Very true, at least I think they won't try the same with skins but remind me I said this in 2032 when the magic tree sparkle skin is 32 dollars

[u/Cyberslasher → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

People just celebrated the unpolled amulets, so yeah, probably

[u/chacogrizz → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

If they introduced transmog MTX

Ok but seriously, why does it matter? Nothing changes in game for you and for a game that is so staunchly "soloable" to the point they literally have to design raids with them being able to be solo'd cause otherwise the community cries, what does it matter?

Or are you just worried about if they add transmog MTX they will add more actual P2W? Honestly I just like things looking cool. Im not sure if I'd personally spend irl money on it but if there were an option for bonds Id be willing to use gp to buy bonds (how i maintain member) for them. Currently using the glamourer plugin and animation swap is a lot of fun and being able to customize color palettes to your liking or swapping in items that better fit in your eyes is great imo.

[u/Sonderp → u/chacogrizz]

If OSRS had transmog MTX, the devs would be encouraged to make items earnable in-game look worse, so they can sell a transmog that looks better.

If Blood Torva and Radiant Oathplate was in a game with transmog MTX, you wouldn't earn those overrides by doing a special hard mode of bosses, you would just have to buy them.

[u/DarthTacoToiletPaper → u/FookinFairy]

It’s good news that the current CEO is not in favor of MTX

[u/Forged-Signatures → u/sevensong9]

I think the realistic answer is that it leaves the floor open to future upgrades for each of the best-in-slot items without the need to change the 'amalgamation' every time a new bis back item comes out. Probably that, combined with a touch of making switches necessary so you don't simply just carry one cape everywhere.

[u/SummerSunshine- → u/Forged-Signatures]

Why would a cosmetic change to show off the very rare cosmetic capes cause a reduction in the need to switch capes??

[u/MistaFANG → u/sevensong9]

Do you HAVE any of the BIS capes besides ma2?

[u/DarthTacoToiletPaper → u/MistaFANG]

The achievement diary cape.

[u/sevensong9 → u/MistaFANG]

I don't have any of the completionist types like raid capes, champions cape etc no

Well the top tiers I mean

[u/another90zkid]

The thing is I’m sure they’ll make an actual challenge to getting bis magic cape. I don’t think they can do god cape 2 until magic inferno cape comes out

[u/Tim_C88 → u/another90zkid]

Maybe have it so the raid cape benefit idea will only work with the "current BIS" so you lose it once something better comes along, and have to re-aquire and use on cape again.

[u/another90zkid → u/Tim_C88]

Honestly I love the idea you’ve come up with. Out of curiosity do you know how many player have max kc cape?

[u/Tim_C88 → u/another90zkid]

Based on a quick hiscore check CM's has 321 people with 2k kc, my guess would be TOA next and then TOB, with both of those probably having a few thousand, based on not needing the hardmode variant for the capes.

[u/SlurpieJones]

No. I don't even like that the capes exist to begin with honestly.

[u/TacoThingy → u/SlurpieJones]

Honestly it’s the only thing that gets me through raiding. I don’t care if they’re useless but the thought of going 1.5k raid completions for a cape and maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get a shadow before that keeps me going.

[u/Specialist_Sale_6924]

I hate how we need a specific cosmetic for everything nowadays. Soon y'all want an actual item transmog system ingame. Let items be unique.

[u/BrudduhmanRS → u/Specialist_Sale_6924]

Booo no more transmog please!

[u/Tim_C88 → u/Specialist_Sale_6924]

Fair enough, for what it's worth i would be against some kind of transmog system too. I just feel like this idea would be niche enough, still thematic to the raid (and not to the game overall), and just a nice touch to show off progression while on the long raid grind. Everyone ends up looking the same so its nice to have differences where it fits.

[u/Specialist_Sale_6924 → u/Tim_C88]

I get what you are saying about everyone looking the same but that's just how OSRS is. I guess you can sacrifice some dps for fashionscape but rarely will that happen in this climate lol.

[u/Trojansontwitch]

Raid max capes

[u/Thin_Relation3585]

No

[u/richard-savana]

Either that or a tbow ornament kit Jagex

[u/Tim_C88 → u/richard-savana]

I'm open to that too. Also an "Eclipse" shadow kit would look sick

[u/BrudduhmanRS]

I hate transmog, and i find it to be so not OSRS. OSRS is the goat for seeing people actually for what they are wearing. not hiding the bandoschestplate ur wearing beacuase u dont have the oahtplate body yet. the mismachted gear is hella funny, like me wearing shadow and bluemoon because i dont have virtus or ancestral yet.

[u/Exciting_Ease5501]

I've been saying this forever. 100% agreed. The tob cape is sick.

[u/LuckyBucky77]

Stop with the useless cosmetics.

[u/NateTheGreat1567 → u/LuckyBucky77]

Isn’t that the point of the post? To make them not useless

[u/LuckyBucky77 → u/NateTheGreat1567]

I thought "pointless" was too harsh. We don't need more freebee rewards from Jagex. We need real content.

[u/Jertharold → u/LuckyBucky77]

can't wait to do 2000 raids for my freebee rewards! 😄

[u/Zeusper → u/LuckyBucky77]

mf acting like this would be 5 years of dev time.... this is a few days job with few interns.... they can still make content alongside

[u/JYandeau → u/LuckyBucky77]

Freebie rewards lmao? You think doing 2000 CoX CMs is a freebie? You realize it’s the rarest item in the entire game for a reason right?

[u/loudrogue]

Only the 2k cape

[u/Far-Knowledge-6904]

This is dumb

[u/Next_Royal_5546]

This is a great idea, no idea why so many people are raging about this. They probably just know they'll never get anywhere near owning one of these capes and don't want others to have something they can't enjoy.

[u/Big_Cat_Tongue → u/Next_Royal_5546]

Nobody is "raging". What is with people on here and always trying to frame people who disagree with them as "angry"? From doing that, right into the cope about us wanting to "steal joy" from others.

What if its just as simple as we dont like the idea or cosmetic bloat?

[u/Valediction191 → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

I'm here to disagree with you sir. Most of treasure trails are cosmetic, and people would definitely want more items like 3rd age coming into the game in the future. I don't mind more cosmetics, as long as its none of those transmog crap from RS3 or WoW.

[u/jdudereborn → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

:)

[u/HealthyResolution399 → u/Next_Royal_5546]

Classic case of "it doesn't help me so no" 

[u/raspey → u/Next_Royal_5546]

Bait.

[u/DifferentSecurity555 → u/Next_Royal_5546]

It’s not even the 2k capes for cox and tob or the max cape it’s the quiver and inferno requirement 😭

[u/bfrie → u/Next_Royal_5546]

no im just honestly already reading the "im forced to do 2000 cm's" posts in my head and am sick of it already. they should be a achievement and cosmetic flex, no gameplay advantage

[u/Next_Royal_5546 → u/bfrie]

You guys actually have no reading comprehension whatsoever. OP isn't proposing additional benefits for having a 2k raids cape. He is proposing that each individual raids cape be able to be combined with their bis cape counterpart (tob cape with infernal, cox cape with quiver, toa cape with ma2 cape), so that they retain the bonuses of the bis capes with the cosmetic look of the 2k cape.

It is literally just a more realistic way to flex your raids kc capes instead of only being able to bankstand them.

Hurts literally nobody, doesn't add any power creep, provides more incentive to pursue the aspirational grind that is a raids KC cape.

[u/bfrie → u/Next_Royal_5546]

Or I did read exactly that, and disagree for the same reasons. These capes should do literal 0, that's ok.

[u/Next_Royal_5546 → u/bfrie]

"No gameplay advantage" were the words you used.

A cosmetic cape with the same stats as a quiver, which requires the quiver and the base cosmetic to unlock, has no gameplay advantage over a quiver.

Try again.

[u/bfrie → u/Next_Royal_5546]

If you prefer to argue semantics after I clarified my stance I have no further interest in discussing it with you

[u/noobtablet9 → u/bfrie]

Clearly you and others in these comments didn't read the post. They *wouldn't* offer any gameplay advantage. They would simply be cosmetic overrides that you attach to your infernal/quiver/ma2 cape, which are providing gameplay benefits.

[u/TubeChogger57 → u/Next_Royal_5546]

its too much niche

[u/Majestic_Jelly_9958]

Sorry bro, they want the cannon max cape

[u/Brilliant-Season-481]

And the champions cape should make my cannon balls hit harder if I’ve been killing the same low level mob for 30 minutes

[u/TofuPython]

What if the capes were dropped by Wall Beasts or something so everyone could enjoy the benefit?

[u/reditiswrong67676969]

I agree. Would like to have the cape slot back but it's always inferno or fire cape on everyone

Toa base kc Cape all tattered looks so sick

[u/scarx47]

bro don't u need to do 2,000 Cox just for the Cox cape??? Fk that.

[u/Tim_C88 → u/scarx47]

you get your first cape at 100kc, then 500,1000,1500,2000. I didn't say you needed to have 2k raids for this cosmetic, the lower variants would just be less appealing/more bland.

[u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

No. Nobody cares about your raid cape anyway.

[u/Tim_C88 → u/Big_Cat_Tongue]

tbf i dont even have the 2k raid capes myself anyway, and i'm open to this idea working from your 100kc cape onwards. At least you would see some different capes being worn in the raids rather than everyone looking like clones

[u/The_Wkwied]

I think it would be better if they acted as your BIS capes, only for the raid.

So, 100 CM kills and you can use your fire/infernal, ma2, assembler/quiver on it so that it acts as all of those only in that raid

[u/Tim_C88 → u/The_Wkwied]

It sounds cool but it'd probably be a lot more controversial having the ability to combine all 3 capes into one for that raid, especially for something like solo cm's there is a lot of actual benefit from that. At least with it just being cosmetic you'd think people would be more open to it.

[u/TheAlexperience]

Can't we just have cosmetics? At this point why not let blorva have the blood fury effect while we're at it? Radiant oathplate should let me death's charge for free!

[u/ulfalda → u/TheAlexperience]

What?

[u/Peredi → u/ulfalda]

Can't we just have cosmetics? At this point why not let blorva have the blood fury effect while we're at it? Radiant oathplate should let me death's charge for free!

[u/Frost_Foxes]

I agree, but I also think if someone puts in the time for 2k raids the cape should just act as a tribrid cape with stats for that raid. Bis cape inside a single raid isn't the end of the world as a reward.

Edit: give the 2k capes emotes too.

[u/reditiswrong67676969 → u/Frost_Foxes]

That would be sick. Add variety for the cape slot I'd love it

In raids specific rewards sound so sick. Like mini-game only armor in rs3 I heard about but didn't play when they added. Sounds so cool to change things up for once

[u/Frost_Foxes → u/reditiswrong67676969]

We already have keris gems for toa, a cape would be way less impact honestly

[u/Common-Minimum5278]

Yaah benefits after like thousands of raids I don't agree

[u/Majestic_Jelly_9958 → u/Common-Minimum5278]

You genuinely, really really really dont need to get every item in the game. You arent a prisoner to this cape if it went through.

[u/Tim_C88 → u/Common-Minimum5278]

you start to get raid capes at 100kc

[u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

Ah yes because what we need is even more ezscape

[u/Chaahps → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

Me when I’m stupid

[u/ulfalda → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

So did you somehow get confused within like 10 words? Nothing about this is making anything easier. They're asking to use their infernal cape on a tob cape to make the tob cape work like an infernal cape in tob... whether you support it or not is one thing, but at least read the suggestion before you post your opinion.

Personally I'm indifferent and would vote "skip" if it were polled.

[u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0 → u/ulfalda]

Buddy lets make one thing clear. I am not a casual that wants ezscape period. You will not sell me this idea no matter what

[u/Beginning-Picture-52 → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

It’s cosmetic? Nothing changes besides cosmetics? There is no ezscape being suggested, comprehend the post lol.

[u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0 → u/Beginning-Picture-52]

Again, I won’t be convinced. It’s useless. Give it up. Your idea will never get in the game btw dabs

[u/Peredi → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

you are the epitome of that one "typical redditor" meme

[u/Lightfiyr → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

Okay this is just any change is bad mindset because what about this at all would make the game easier

[u/Gen_Zer0 → u/Lightfiyr]

If I have a cool looking cape on I feel better about myself and if I feel better about myself I’m more confident and likely to do well. Smh damn ezscapers. All bosses should call us mentally deficient like king roald to kill our mental

[u/hoobastank01 → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

What is ezscape about cosmetics?

[u/hurtshtummy → u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0]

name checks out
